ABOUT TND

About True North Dreamin

True North Dreamin is a community led event for Salesforce professionals, and for those who are interested in learning more about Salesforce. TND will be a two day event with multiple tracks of content, keynote speakers, networking, and an awesome Canadian time that you will not want to miss!

TND is organized, run and delivered by people from within the Salesforce community. This is a not-for-profit event that we can only bring to you because of the generosity of our sponsors. The purpose is to bring us all together and to give everyone access to the best content available to help educate and provide value for everyone.

While Canada has less people than the state of California, we have the second largest country on the globe. As such, we want to ensure that we share our many different areas with each other (and all of you too!). This is why we are named “True North Dreamin” and not a city. True North is taken from our national anthem - “With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free!”


The True North Dreamin’ Board

Our Board of Directors for True North Dreamin’ is a group of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about not only bringing the Salesforce community together in Canada, but encouraging it’s growth. Like our country itself, our team is geographically diverse—with members who live, or have lived, from Coast to Coast, and even beyond our borders.

We’re proud to continue to carry the torch passed to us by the original founders of TND as we continue to grow and evolve this uniquely Canadian community event.
